It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of Tarte Cosmetics. When the opportunity arose for me to review some of their newest products for spring and summer, I jumped on it. For the last month I’ve been using the Tarte Fresh Eyes Maracuja Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover Wipes, and WOW these things are amazing!

I usually have trouble removing stubborn eye makeup, especially the waterproof kind. Mascaras and eyeliner would oftentimes linger around even after I’ve used makeup remover and cleansed my face. Can you say, raccoon eyes? Uh yeah, not good, right? However, after using the Tarte Fresh Eyes Maracuja Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover Wipes I noticed all of my eye makeup removed easier, and came off completely. After I washed my face, I didn’t have raccoon eyes, which I would experience after using other eye makeup removers. The wipes are gentle, and smell great, too!

For me, the wipes work better when you rest them on your eye for a few seconds then wipe away the eye makeup.

Pros

– Removes hard to move waterproof eye makeup

– Non-abrasive; gentle

– Soft & moisturizing

– Great scent

– Not greasy

– Phthalate and Paraben free

– SLS Free

– Mineral Oil-free

Cons

-Scent can bother those sensitive to fragrance

– Cost

If you’re in the market for, and willing to splurge on an eye makeup remover wipe that can get rid of your most stubborn waterproof eye makeup, then this is for you. Plus, if you love the tropical fruit punch scent as much as I do, then you’ll love this. The Tarte Fresh Eyes Maracuja Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover Wipes can be purchased for $12/pack of 30 pre-moistened wipes from Tartecosmetics.com, Ulta and Sephora.

I love these. After I reviewed them I bought another package for my sister since she is always on the lookout for the best eye makeup remover.

I definitely want to try these! I recently used an eye makeup remover wipe in desperation at a friends house and it burned like heck. It was a generic brand, so hopefully these will be better. I liked what it did but not how it felt!

I LOVE makeup wipes, they have become a part of my everyday routine. I have to check these out! Great review. How moist are they? or how moist do they stay? I noticed sometimes the first few are moist but then they all eventually start to get dried out. Sometimes I wish they came in separate packing – each towelette in its own little pack.
